Just as Madam He finished speaking, she saw a carriage driven by the Embroidered Uniform Guards approaching from afar.
The carriage had no carriage compartment, only a platform.
The cart was covered with a white cloth.
When He Zhiqian and his wife saw the strange carriage, they remembered what Yun Chuwei had just said, and their faces turned pale.
He An's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
Yun Lianhua's face also turned deathly pale instantly.
She couldn't accept that Yun Xian was really dead.
She hasn't even returned to the Marquis's mansion to be a proper noble lady yet, how could Yun Xian be dead?
When the Embroidered Uniform Guards stopped the carriage in front of the Marquis's mansion, Yun Lianhua wanted to go up and lift the white cloth covering the carriage to see what was going on.
She couldn't wait to find out if that person was indeed Yun Xian.
However, upon seeing this, the Embroidered Uniform Guard immediately drew his longsword and pointed it at Yun Lianhua.
"If you dare to take another step forward, you will be killed without mercy. If you don't believe me, come forward and try," the Embroidered-Clad Guard said coldly.
Yun Lianhua was startled and stopped in her tracks.
Madam He pulled Yun Lianhua back immediately, and said with a forced smile to the Embroidered Uniform Guards, "I'm sorry, my granddaughter was just a little dazed, I'm so sorry! But what are you pulling her for?"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard ignored Madam He.
One of the Embroidered Uniform Guards went up and knocked on the door.
Soon, the gatekeeper of the Marquis's residence came out.
The gatekeeper was very respectful to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. After bowing, he said to the guard, "I didn't know you were here, sir. What are your orders?"
The Embroidered-Clad Guard spoke up: "Lord Yun Xian had an affair with a palace maid. After the affair was exposed, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Now, by order of His Majesty, his body is being returned to the Lord's residence."
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper was startled: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and inform the old lady immediately, and ask her to make a decision!"
After the steward finished speaking, he hurriedly walked into the Marquis's residence.
He An finally couldn't hold back any longer. She rushed over and tore off the white cloth covering the cart.
When He An realized that the person lying on the cart was indeed Yun Xian, he fell straight to the ground.
"No!" He An's voice was hoarse. "It can't be like this! Why would this happen?"
Yun Lianhua also collapsed to the ground, staring incredulously at Yun Xian, who was lifeless on the cart.
Yun Xian is dead! They'll never be able to enter the Marquis's mansion again. What can they do?
As Yun Lianhua thought about it, everything went black, and she fainted.
-
The Marquis's residence eventually held a funeral.
Yun Zheng's whereabouts are uncertain and cannot be notified, so Yun Zheng has not returned.
However, Yun Qianming, who was at the manor, did return.
Yun Qianming clearly hadn't expected Yun Xian to die like this.
He had originally planned to bring Yun Xian back after he had completely taken control of the Marquis's mansion.
But now it seems he will never live to see it again.
That's why Yun Qianming knelt in the mourning hall the whole time, and his tears were the most sincere.
Cui Yuetuan came to pay her respects with his parents, and when she saw Yun Qianming, she was furious.
She wanted Yun Qianming to beat her up, but in the end she held back.
She snorted coldly and went to find Yun Chuwei.
When Cui Yuetuan saw Yun Chuwei, she immediately comforted her without considering anything else.
Yun Chuwei didn't say much, she just nodded with a smile.
After offering words of comfort, Cui Yuetuan said, "I don't think you seem very sad!"
Yun Chu smiled faintly and said, "I really don't have any feelings for him!"
Cui Yuetuan nodded, then looked at Yun Chuwei and said earnestly, "I have another matter to ask of you this time!"
Just as Yun Chuwei was about to say something, Guiyan suddenly ran in and said to Yun Chuwei, "Miss, those people from the He family are causing trouble. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Yun Chuwei nodded to Guiyan, then looked at Cui Yuetuan: "You tell me your story first!"
Cui Yuetuan took Yun Chuwei's hand and said, "Let's go take a look first. I haven't figured out how to say it yet!"
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "That works too!"
-
The one who came to cause trouble was none other than He An.
Of course, Yun Lianhua and He Zhiqian also came.
This time, Luo Jifeng actually came too.
When Yun Chuwei arrived outside the Marquis's residence, He An had already led Yun Lianhua and Luo Jifeng to kneel down before Old Madam Yun.
“Grandma, this is Fahua, Lianhua’s twin sister. This is Luo Jifeng, Lianhua and Fahua’s brother. They are all Xian’s flesh and blood. Please let them go in and pay their respects to Xian!” He An said, crying.
Grandma Yun glanced at He An and the others, and said, "I have never heard of my son having these children. You should leave immediately and not cause trouble here, or I will report you to the authorities!"
Upon hearing this, He An continued, "Madam, these two children are indeed Xian-ge's. Look at them, how much they resemble Xian-ge! How could they not be Xian-ge's flesh and blood? My parents can also testify to this."
He Zhiqian and his wife immediately nodded and said, "Yes, we can all testify that these two are Yun Xian's children."
Although He Zhiqian and his wife were well aware that Yun Xian was not of the Marquis's bloodline, they also knew that Old Madam Yun would not bring this matter up.
This conveniently provided them with the opportunity to send their grandson and granddaughter into the Marquis's household.
Alternatively, even if the grandson and granddaughter cannot be sent to the Marquis's mansion, everyone can still know that the grandson and granddaughter are descendants of Prime Minister Yun.
In the Great Chu, Prime Minister Yun was absolutely a unique figure.
Whether officials or ordinary people, everyone speaks of Prime Minister Yun with utmost respect.
They still remembered that Yun Xiangguo's grandson had made a mistake and was executed, leaving the Marquis's mansion without an heir.
The emperor at the time went to great lengths to finally bring back Yun Xiangguo's sickly youngest son to inherit the marquisate.
He Zhiqian and his wife believed that as long as it was confirmed that Luo Jifeng was of the Marquis's bloodline, Luo Jifeng would have the opportunity to inherit the Marquis's mansion should something happen to it later.
Therefore, their main objective today is to confirm Luo Jifeng's lineage from the Marquis's family.
Now that the Marquis's bloodline has been confirmed, they can just wait.
It's clear that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Empress are at odds with the Marquis's residence.
Moreover, Yun Chuwei is Prince Xuan's fiancé, which means she is destined to stand on the opposite side of the Crown Prince.
If the Crown Prince ascends the throne and deals with Yun Mo and his ilk, then the position of Marquis can fall into Luo Jifeng's hands.
He Zhiqian and his wife felt very hopeful.
Madam Yun said coldly, "Now that my son is dead, you can say whatever you want. Let me tell you, I will absolutely not believe your nonsense unless my son tells me this himself!"
He Zhiqian was furious upon hearing Madam Yun's words: "When Yun Xian was alive, he always acknowledged these two children. Now that you're denying them, do you want Yun Xian to die with regrets?"
Madam Yun said coldly, "If I admit it, Yun Xian will die with his eyes wide open in disgrace! If you don't leave, I'll have someone report you to the authorities!"
Just as Madam Yun was about to send someone to report to the authorities, she was interrupted by a voice.
That was Yun Qianming's voice.
"I have evidence to prove that Yun Fahua and Luo Jifeng are my father's children!"
